WASHINGTON, NOV. 12, 1887.
AposrRopuEs TO ANARCHY.

There Is n weird sort of earnestness
In the dying utterances of the Anarch-
lists at Chicago yesterday which fur.
nishes striking illustration of the
tenacity with which even Intelligent
men. once warped from the true, will
cling to the false.
1t is highly improbable that these
hare. Drained 2ealets were talking In
mere spirit Of bravado or posing for
scenic effects as they stood upon the
fatal trap. With all their narrowness
Of judgment and unscrupulousness as
TO methods of action, they may have
been neither dishonest nor hypocritical
In their beliefs.
They had cultivated morbid and mis-
leading sentiments until their evil faith
had become an ingraIned part of their
natures. To their view diseased
condition of mind was normal aud
healthful.
]nconceivable as this may be to an
American citizen, who realizes the
glory and greatness of republican insti.
tutions as he sees them eXempliGed In
his Government, 1t must be recollec,ed
that the doctrines of the Anarchists are
not indigenous to the United States.
They are exotics that find in this coun.
Try neither soil nor atmosphere pro.
pltous to their natural growth. Hence
the perverse and monstrous forms into
which they develop under the artificial
stimulation Of ignorance and fanaticism.
There Is no Anarchist In the United
States who, II not q scoundrel, is not
fanatic; nor one who is not ignorant of
the true nature Of the institutions under
which he lives.
He imports his principles from
abroad, and is forced to invent out of
Titiated Imagination some opportunity
or occasion for their practical adapta.
tion in country where no such oppor-
tunity or occasion really exists.
Had August Spies and Adolph
Fischer died In defense of liberty or
the maintenance of law, and they had
accepted fate with the dignity and com.
posure Of patriots, and their last words
been prayer for the perpetuatlon of
good government, theirs would have
been the death of martyrs, indeed; but
II was in contempt Of liberty-In de.
fiance Of lak-that they perlshed, and
their apostrophes to anarchy on the
scaffold are utterly devoid of heroic
Significance, and, by the most charita-
BILE construction, nothing more than
insensa,e appeals TO the ideal aud i'm. +.
possible.
There may come time, with the
ushering In Of the millennium, when
liberty without law will be the portion
OF regenerate mankind, but the in.
equallties of human nature are too
radical, the conditions of human so.
Ciety are too uneven, the planes of
human endeavor and attainment are of
too irregular heights TO p 'rmit even an
enthusiasts dream Of mllennial per-
fection, still less the bringing about of
social revolutions by the men of unbal.
anced minds and loose moral principles
educated In the political slums OF
Europe-wbo conf here to cast dis
credit upon the Government and agitate
for Its undoing.

holders can take heart, especially In
view of the fact that no more money Is
wanted out of them or anybody else to
complete the work, THE CRITIC is not
an obstinate or incorrigible doubter on
this subject, 1t has never understood
why an engineer, who was capable of
constructing the Suez Canal through
the sands, shouldn't also be capable of
constructing the Panama Canal through
the rocks, provided he had money
enough. Even those who are most In
the habit of ridicullng the old gentle
man as a humbug and fraud have
never shown reasonable cause for their
imputations upon his good faith.

AN AREA Of oni ious Il npleasantness
prevails throughout the Interior De.
partment, growing out of the fact that
certain differences of opinion which
have long existed between Secretary
Lamar and Commissioner Sparks, rela-
tive to the administration of the Gen.
eral Land Office. have come to head
at last. The latter, irasclble and self.
opinionated, but no doubt honest, has
entertained views and taken action In
various land.grant cases that are in
direct conflict with the opinions of the
Secretary and have proved a fruitful
source Of disagreement. This con-
trariety Of judgment, necessarily preju.
dicial to the efilci, ncy Of the Department
and not 10 be tolerated as between
principal and subordinate, eliminated
this week In what Is known as the
Omaha case; and as will be seen In our
news columns, the patience of Mr..
Lamar Is exhausted. He has written
o letter to the Commissioner, In which
he states that one or the other must
leave the Department, and he has SO
Informed the President. Either he
(the Secretary must have control of
the Department over which he was
appointed to preside, or Secretary
must be chosen who will permit the
Department to he run for him by
the Land Onlce Commissioner. The
issue being thus made up, the natural
presumption is that General Sparks, as
the subordinate official, will be asked to
retire, and Mr.. Lamar as the superior
official and member of the Cabinet, be
retained. Is the further inference in
order that his retention is to be perma
nent, or is II merely to make the way
clear for Mr.. Villas
